  Effective size is a term used in SAP IS-R-DM Demand Management. It is a measure of the size of a demand item that is used to calculate the total demand for a particular item.

  How to use it: 
  The effective size of an item can be calculated by multiplying the quantity of the item by its unit of measure. For example, if an item has a quantity of 10 and a unit of measure of 1, then the effective size would be 10. If the item has a quantity of 10 and a unit of measure of 2, then the effective size would be 20.
